My Place in the World

So I saw this blogger challenge thing on a couple blogs that I follow.

this is exactly what I need. And they're are a few reasons why:

1. I feel like I've been in a blogging rut, I need something to get me going again.

2. Josh is going out of town for a week, I need something to do.

3. I need a de-stresser from packing.

So here's the link: http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html?m=1 if you wish to do it too!

Let the games begin!

1. The story of your life in 250 words or less

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. Youngest of four kids. Started piano lessons when i was 4 years old. music then became my life. When I was 15 my 16yr old brother died. Changed my life forever. Had the best friends a girl could ever have in high school. Left for Snow College after high school to major in music but then I wrecked my wrist so that ended right quick. Met my awesome husband at Snow and were married on March 30th 2012. The Lord instructed us to have a child very soon after getting married. So we did. Kaden was born on February 5th 2013 and he is the cutest little boy you've ever seen. Josh and I are enjoying life and all the trials that come with it.

Please accept my most sincerest apologies. I never meant to neglect you, blog.

But life just happens. And it happens so gosh darn fast.

So to make it up, I shall write a special list of random thoughts/things that have been happening lately. Just for you.

Here we go.

1. Originally we were moving to Ogden so that Josh could go to Weber State. They have excellent programs there. But guess who changed his mind? The Lord, that's who. He has decided to send us to the great and strange land of Orem, Utah. To go to UVU. I suppose I'm okay with it, am I jumping for joy at the prospect of living in 'happy valley'? No, not really. I've never seen myself as some one living in Utah. But here I am. A Utard. Have been for a while now, I have the driver's license and everything. Can you tell I have some issues with living in Utah?

2. My house isn't clean. If you've read my previous blog posts then you know how much of an issue this is for me. But I've come to terms with it. Sort of. I still have to have my house at a certain level of cleanliness, enough for the spirit to reside, but since having Kaden I've realized that you will never get everything done. Not with kids. So just do the important things, assign your husband a few things to do, and leave the rest. Enjoy your life. It'll all get done eventually.

3. Kaden. That cute boy. He's almost 9 weeks and he's growing really well, he's 10lbs now! That's about twice the size he was when he was born. He is such a smiley baby and definitely a mama's boy. It actually took him a while to warm up to Josh. He's definitely getting more vocal, making baby sounds and such.

4. I've decided I will never find a show as good as Gilmore Girls. It's quite the sad discovery. With every show I watch I compare it to Gilmore Girls, the writing, the characters, the plot, etc. I've settled on watching Psych for now. I have a lot of seasons to go through, so that should keep me occupied for a while.

5. We had Kaden's baby blessing on the 24th of March. He was wayyyy too small for his blessing outfit so a white onsie was what he wore. Josh did an awesome job with the blessing. It's a little hard to believe that this little boy is going to grow up. Josh and I firmly believe that if Kaden wants to stay a baby forever then he should be allowed to because he's such a good one.

7. Advice for pregnant moms-to-be: Get your hair done before you have the baby. I just barely got my hair cut and colored. It took me 8 weeks to get around to it. You'll be glad you did it before hand.

8. Kaden got his shots today... my goodness he was a little trouper. He cried for maybe a minute, then just fell right to sleep. I was prepared for the worst and thank goodness it wasn't bad.

9. I commend whoever understands my post title.

10. Pictures of Kaden for your enjoyment.
